Podcasts about end violence against women

Phillip Ripper from No To Violence talks about the escalating problem of violence against women, while centring the responsibility of men in its prevention.It is evident that the previous National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children hasn't worked, and Phillip discusses what needs to happen to bring in real change. This needs to include the wisdom and knowledge from the sector at a meaningful level - through partnership rather than tokenistic consultation.LinkNo To Violence 

Grace Frances, Director of Community Partnerships, talks about the organization End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) and how it relates to emergency dispatch. She discusses the array of resources that EVAWI provides, including an annual conference and monthly webinars, and how emergency dispatchers often set the tone for a survivor of gender-based violence on their journey to justice.

The Coalition have announced a $90 million investment in family and domestic violence, following Labor's $8.6 million commitment announced earlier this week. This comes amid bipartisan support for Labor's $4 billion National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children released in 2022. But advocates and victim-survivors are disappointed by what they see as minimal attention from politicians on the issue over the election campaign.

A sixteen-day awareness campaign from 25 November to 10 December highlights the importance of eliminating violence against women. Oliver Slewa, a solicitor, humanitarian, and founder of Shayna, spoke to SBS Assyrian about the United Nations' campaign's significance in raising awareness of domestic violence and violence against women.

The 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children is a United Nations campaign which takes place annually from the 25th of November to the 10th of December, which is International Human Rights Day. The theme this year is “30 Years of Advancing Collective Action to End Violence Against Women and Children”. This year's campaign emphasises addressing the root causes of GBVF, promoting positive masculinity, promoting gender equity and creating economic opportunities for women and children. Just looking at the numbers, more than 2,500 women and children were killed in the country between April and September this year. So, to discuss GBV in South Africa, and whether or not we're making any progress in our fight against it, Carol Ofori spoke to Interventions Supervisor at TEARS FOUNDATION Kavya Swaminathan.

False beliefs about what does and doesn't constitute rape are more deeply ingrained in young people than we might think. The Crown Prosecution Service has conducted research into what these misconceptions are, and the impact they're having on the justice system when it comes to rape convictions. Anita Rani is joined by Baljit Ubhey from the CPS and Andrea Simon from End Violence Against Women to hear more.Julia Bullock is an American classical singer. Her debut solo album, Walking in the Dark, was nominated for a Grammy award. Next week, she is bringing her mixed-media project History's Persistent Voice to London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. It shines a light on the words, work and experiences of Black American and British artists, and includes new songs commissioned from leading Black women composers. She joins Anita to discuss her music, her influences and her passions. Journalist Helen Carroll faced a backlash online when she revealed she pays her son £40 a month to load the dishwasher. This sparked a discussion - were you paid as a child to do household chores? Or do you think children should just be doing things around the house anyway without money? Parenting coach and psychologist Sue Atkins joins Anita to discuss. Domino Day is a brand new series coming to BBC Three which combines the world of modern dating with the world of the supernatural. Series writer Lauren Sequeira speaks to Anita about why the show's themes of modern relationships and female empowerment are so important to her, and why she wanted to show witches in a whole new light.

With Dr. Nasreen Rajani. Gendered digital abuse can take lots of forms: threatening or damaging communication, cyberstalking, non-consensual distribution of intimate images, online dating abuse, hacking, doxing (publishing private information about someone online), flaming (posting insults or personal attacks), impersonation, gendered and sexualized disinformation, and more.  Studies show that those who experience more unwanted behaviour online include young women, Black, Indigenous, and racialized women, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Still, research is thin when it comes to exploring the nuances of gendered digital abuse in their lives. For instance, very little focusses on the experiences and perspectives of racialized women in Canada.  Over coming months, we're delving into gendered digital hate and harassment with leading experts and content creators, releasing in-depth episodes every single week. We talk about the problem and what we can do to change it. We offer practical tips to help you in your digital life, and we talk about what it means to “take back the tech” for all of us.  Our guest Dr. Nasreen Rajani has been involved in ending gender-based violence for about seven years through her research and non-profit advocacy work. Her dissertation examined how racialized and Indigenous activists across Canada use digital tools in their work to end gender-based violence. She has been a volunteer and board member with the Women's Initiatives for Safer Environments (WISE Ottawa) from 2016 to 2021 and is currently an advisor with the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) on their technology-facilitated gender-based violence project. Nasreen is also a member of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women's (OCTEVAW) Black and Racialized Persons Caucus, a strategic advisory board that supports the meaningful implementation of equity, anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional lenses on OCTEVAW's work.  Relevant Links: “I Bet You Don't Get What We Get”: An Intersectional Analysis of Technology-Facilitated Violence Experienced by Racialized Women Anti-Violence Online Activists in Canada (Canadian Journal of Law and Technology, 2022), Unacceptable: Responding to Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence, The Facts about Gendered Digital Hate, Harassment, and Violence  Brief Listener Survey: did this episode help you?

The African Union (AU) will convene the third Men's Conference on Positive Masculinity, in Pretoria this week, with the aim of advocating for more initiatives and dialogues where young men and boys can discuss issues affecting them. President Cyril Ramaphosa noted in his weekly letter to the nation that Saturday marked the start of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children yearly campaign. He said one of the reasons gender-based violence (GBV) continued in South Africa, was because there was a culture of ambivalence among men who see crimes against women and children as a 'private matter' or a 'family matter'. In most cases of GBV, including domestic abuse and sexual violence, the attacker was known to the victim, he added. South Africa is co-hosting the conference with the AU Chair and President of the Comoros Azali Assoumani. The inaugural conference was held in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2021 and the second one was held in Dakar, Senegal in 2022. Ramaphosa highlighted that it was the country's priority to end GBV. "For the AU, as it is for our own country, ending GBV is a priority. Discussions are currently underway on the content of an African Convention to End Violence Against Women and Girls, executing a decision of the African Union Summit earlier this year," he said. He explained that once adopted, the convention would be the first continental legal instrument for the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls. He said South Africa was part of the AU Circle of Champions. "It is an association of African Heads of State who have committed to implementing programmes at a national and continental levels that promote positive masculinity and encourage more men and boys to be part of the fight against GBV," he explained. Ramaphosa expressed his confidence that the third AU Men's Conference on Positive Masculinity would raise the profile of prevention efforts in South Africa and in wider Africa, and that its outcomes would galvanise men and boys to play a greater role in breaking the cycle of violence. He said government had long maintained that interventions aimed at eradicating GBV in the country must focus on prevention. "If we are to raise a nation of men who are positive role models, who take care of their families, who exhibit positive masculinity and who would not countenance hurting a woman or a girl, we must work with young men," he said. MORE INTERVENTIONS Government has been engaging with civil society, academia and researchers, traditional leaders, youth organisations, the faith community and the private sector on the issue of prevention. He said a number of initiatives were underway across a range of sectors that were providing space for young and older men to discuss notions of masculinity. Men are called on to critically consider their own prejudices, preconceptions and chauvinisms that abet GBV. Ramaphosa noted that a number of government departments had interventions in place that were focused on promoting positive masculinity through dialogues, workshops, awareness-raising campaigns, psychosocial support and behavioural change programmes. "In August this year I was part of the Presidential Young Men and Boys' Indaba in Soweto. I had the opportunity to talk with a group of young men as part of the 'What about the Boys' initiative. The aim of this programme is to get young men to open up in a safe space about their own experiences with masculinity and how this impacts their own attitudes to GBV," he said. He said that citizens needed to inculcate a mindset that saw young men as part of the solution, and not just the problem. "While men are the main perpetrators of violence against women and children, men must also be at the forefront of bringing about a new society that respects the equal rights of women and girls, where GBV has no place," he said.

In light of Hedley' frontman Jacob Hoggard being sentenced to five years in prison for sexual violence, we speak to Bailey Reid who has brough her past experience as the former Coordinator for the Sexual Assault Network of Ottawa, a Women's Rights Campaigner for Oxfam Canada, and a nearly ten-year stint as Chair of the Public Engagement Committee of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women to her new passion project. She talks to us about how a proactive accountability-based approach to changing organizational culture on matters related to sexual violence can be more effective than a reactive liability-based approach.

In Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence against Women in Africa (Oxford UP, 2020), Peace A. Medie studies the domestic implementation of international norms by examining how and why two post-conflict states in Africa, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire, have differed in their responses to rape and domestic violence. Specifically, she looks at the roles of the United Nations and women's movements in the establishment of specialized criminal justice sector agencies, and the referral of cases for prosecution. She argues that variation in implementation in Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire can be explained by the levels of international and domestic pressures that states face and by the favorability of domestic political and institutional conditions. Medie's study is based on interviews with over 300 policymakers, bureaucrats, staff at the UN and NGOs, police officers, and survivors of domestic violence and rape — an unprecedented depth of research into women's rights and gender violence norm implementation in post-conflict countries. Furthermore, through her interviews with survivors of violence, Medie explains not only how states implement anti-rape and anti-domestic violence norms, but also how women experience and are affected by these norms. She draws on this research to recommend that states adopt a holistic approach to addressing violence against women. Peace A. Medie is an award-winning scholar and a writer. She is associate professor in politics at the University of Bristol. She studies state and non-state actors' responses to gender-based violence and other forms of insecurity in countries in Africa. She is author of ‘Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence Against Women in Africa' (OUP 2020). Her debut novel, His Only Wife, was a New York Times Notable Book of 2020 and a Time Magazine Must-Read Book of 2020. Her second novel, Nightbloom, will be published in June 2023.

Medie's study is based on interviews with over 300 policymakers, bureaucrats, staff at the UN and NGOs, police officers, and survivors of domestic violence and rape — an unprecedented depth of research into women's rights and gender violence norm implementation in post-conflict countries. Furthermore, through her interviews with survivors of violence, Medie explains not only how states implement anti-rape and anti-domestic violence norms, but also how women experience and are affected by these norms. She draws on this research to recommend that states adopt a holistic approach to addressing violence against women. Peace A. Medie is an award-winning scholar and a writer. She is associate professor in politics at the University of Bristol. She studies state and non-state actors' responses to gender-based violence and other forms of insecurity in countries in Africa. She is author of ‘Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence Against Women in Africa' (OUP 2020). Her debut novel, His Only Wife, was a New York Times Notable Book of 2020 and a Time Magazine Must-Read Book of 2020. Her second novel, Nightbloom, will be published in June 2023.

Since its inception in 2003, EVAWI has received almost $9.5 million in public and private funding and provided training and technical assistance to tens of thousands of professionals.Sgt. Archambault has provided training for tens of thousands of practitioners, policymakers and others – across the country and around the world. She has also been instrumental in creating system-level change through individual contacts, as well as policy initiatives and recommendations for best practice. Despite all her efforts, Sgt. Archambault has long recognized that professional responses will not matter if victims are met with skeptical responses from professionals as well as friends and loved ones. In 2011, she therefore achieved a dream first envisioned while working in the SDPD Child Abuse Unit in 1985 – the launch of Start by Believing, a public awareness campaign designed to transform the way we as a society respond to victims of child abuse and sexual violence. With campaigns now taking hold in 49 states and countless communities, this vision is becoming a reality as we are closer to becoming the first Start by Believing Nation, changing the world for victims, one response at a time (Bio from evawintl.org).Facebook: @EVAWInternationalTwitter: @EVAWIntlInstagram: @EVAWIntl

.It is estimated that 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner at some point in their lives. However, some national studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime - Phyllis Pascal, born in Grenada and lived in Canada most of her life. She's a mother and a survivor of domestic violence. For over 15yrs Phyllis worked in the social service sector in various roles providing services to  youth and their familes who faced educational, economical and social barriers.   This  May 2017,  she celebrated her  3rd year of victory, her survival of a vicious knife attack by the father of her child. Phyllis now speaks publicly about her experience because she believe that she is alive today to bring  awareness around the issues of domestic violence and all violence against women. To also bring to the forefront how volatile relationships affects not only the victims but also the children, extended family and the broader community.
